Ranji Trophy: Saurashtra Secure Huge Win Over Chandigarh, Bengal Beat Haryana

Ranji Trophy Elite Group: Saurashtra defeated Chandigarh by an innings and 56 runs in their Ranji Trophy Elite Group B league match at the Cricket Stadium, Sector 16, on Saturday. With this win, Saurashtra pocketed seven points and strengthened their position in the group standings. Resuming their second innings at the overnight score of 31 for no loss on day three, Chandigarh were bowled out for 261 in 64 overs. Pace-bowling all-rounder Rajangad Bawa top-scored with 55, while Shivam Bhambri (48) and Vaibhav Narang (47) chipped in with useful contributions. For Saurashtra, Chirag Jani was the most successful bowler, returning figures of 4-78 in 13 overs. Dharmendrasinh Jadeja also picked four wickets while conceding 53 runs in 12 overs.
